Removal
Overview
• User data kept by the machine contains address books and inbox documents that users can recognize.
• By using the copy, print, or send function, there is also information left on the HDD of MFPs that is generally not recognizable
but can be recovered as documents. (Refer to the illustration on the next page.)
• For security, the user mode is provided to delete data on FLASH PCB and perform overwrite deletion to render user data on
HDD unrecoverable.
■ Cancelling the Device Registration
If Data Backup Service is used, it is required to perform the following steps in the order.
1. Stop using the Data Backup Service. (Operation on CBIO side)
2. Delete all the backup data. (Operation on CBIO side)
3. Cancel the device registration. (Operation on the device side)
NOTE:
For above procedure, see the User's Guide for Data Backup Service.
CAUTION:
Be sure to cancel the device registration before deleting the user, because the device registration cannot be cancelled after
deleting the user data.
■ User data delete
• To delete user data, execute Settings/Registration > System Management > Initialize All Data/Settings in user mode.
Performing Initialize All Data/Settings returns user mode setting values to their factory defaults.
• Deletion Mode can be changed. Normally, "Once with 0 (Null) Data" can sufficiently delete data. Note that increasing the
number of overwrite increases the time required for the deletion operation.
NOTE:
• When you perform Initialize All Data/Settings, license and data of MEAP application are initialized to the state same as when
the HDD is replaced. If MEAP application may be used by other users after the machine is removed, disable the MEAP
application and uninstall it in advance.
• Performing Initialize All Data/Settings does not delete the license of the system option.
■ Deletion of Service Mode Settings
The user mode setting values may have been changed at the user's request. In that case, the service mode setting values should
be changed back to the default values before removing the machine.
Work Procedure
If the user uses MEAP applications, ask the user to uninstall the MEAP applications if necessary.
■ User data delete procedure
1. Settings/Registration > Management Settings > Data Management > Initialize All Data/Settings
2. Select a deletion mode.
